Notes:
Basis ofPreparation

The Directors of the Company are responsible for preparation of the Reconciliation Statement inaccordance with the relevant requirements of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and relevant guidance in HKEX-GL111-22. The Reconciliation Statement was prepared based on the Company’s unaudited interimcondensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2023 prepared under U.S. GAAP, with adjustments made (if any) thereto in arriving at the unaudited financial information of the Company prepared under IFRS. Theadjustments reflect the differences between the Company’s accounting policies under U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The new and amended standards of IFRS effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 do not have significantimpact on the financial performance and positions of the Company.
(a) Preferred Shares
Under U.S. GAAP, the preferred shares of the Company are accounted for as mezzanine equity, which is subsequently accreted to the amount which equals toredemption value of each series of preferred shares.
Under IFRS, the preferred shares, which are redeemable at the option of the holder, representa financial liability. And the financial liability is measured at fair value and changes in the fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability thatis attributable to changes in the credit risk of the liability shall be presented in the consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income; the remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability shall be presented inthe consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Accordingly, the reconciliation includes a fair value profit difference ofRMB28.11 million and RMB64.56 million recognized in net loss attributable to the Company in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The reconciliation alsoincludes the difference between mezzanine equity and financial liabilities under IFRS of RMB1,035.33 million and RMB1,045.96 million as at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
(b) Leases
For operating leases under U.S. GAAP, thesubsequent measurement of the lease liability is based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using the discount rate determined at lease commencement, while theright-of-use asset is remeasured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, cumulative prepaid or accruedrents, unamortized initial direct costs and any impairment. This treatment under U.S. GAAP results in straight line expense being incurred over the lease term, as opposed to IFRS which generally yields a “front-loaded” expense with moreexpense recognized in earlier years of the lease.
Accordingly, the reconciliation includes an expenses difference recognized in the consolidatedstatements of comprehensive income of RMB0.53 million (negative) and RMB0.52 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The reconciliation also includes a difference in total shareholders’equity of RMB7.96 million and RMB8.48 million as at December 31, 2022 and June 30,2023, respectively.
(c) Share-basedCompensation
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all share-based awardsgranted with service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule. For awards with performance condition and multiple service dates, if the performance conditions are all set at inception and independent for each year, each tranche is accountedfor as a separate award with its own requisite service period. Compensation cost is recognized over the respective requisite service period separately for each separately-vesting tranche as though each tranche of the award is, in substance, aseparate award.
Under IFRS, the accelerated method is required to recognize compensation expense for all employee equity awards granted withgraded vesting.
Accordingly, the reconciliation includes an expense recognition difference in the consolidated statements of comprehensive incomeof RMB12.54 million and RMB36.30 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
